Let me wipe away those tears
I hate to see you crying
I know you heard the news today
A little bit of everybody's dying
It's always the same old story
All about the power and glory
Innocent people being killed
In the name of religion, race, and greed
The little things we won't do
To honor the beauty of life
Come back to haunt us every day
Are we really so blind to the truth?
Assassinations,floods,and earthquakes
Depressions and disasters
More lies and misinformation
Dominate the news today
It's always the same old story
All about the power and glory
The innocent are unprotected
And the guilty are unashamed
How do we keep from going crazy
As we look deep into our hearts
There's faith, hope and love to sustain us
Still more who care than not
So let me wipe away those tears
I hate to see you crying
I know you heard the news today
But this old world's still turning
